Re-verb
Re-verb is a concept that explores new ways to tell stories with significance such as testimonies, historic events or personal memories. It alters the format, by which a story is told by mixing the pure data or story with contemporary music and sound effects, aiming at creating a more contemporary medium to appeal to younger generations and reach a wider audience. The concept goes hand in hand with the story-telling live performances at the Soundctuary, bringing together storytellers with sound artists on stage.

This first concept of Re-verb transforms a list of victims of unjust trials and executions from Taiwan's darker past into a contemporary poem. It hopes to contribute an alternative way of reading a black-on-white list of names. The musical format is inspired by a traditional religious prayer chant, the accompanying sound effects add further emotions that help one imagine the circumstances of those drastic events.
